It fell in our yard yesterday and I was wondering what it was. It's about 20 feet tall. Here's a picture of the foliage and berries.

It's a type of cherry. Perhaps Prunus serotina.

We have quite a few of those trees in our yard and put out tons of seedlings. A pioneer species. Even with the all the seedlings I do enjoy the tree and the birds love the fruit. Got tons of cardinals in the back yard because of the trees. The down side is the Eastern tent caterpillar will defoliate the entire tree, but we haven't lost one yet.
